Mannah Duty Free, one of the principal travel retail concession holders at Paraguay?s Asunci?n International Airport has announced the appointment of Norma Brusquetti as Commercial Manager of the company?s arrival and departure shops.

At the same time the company has also appointed Diego Oviedo as Administration and Human Resources Manager. Norma and Diego replace Adriana Valdevinos, who has left the Mannah Group to lead up a family business project.

Company President and CEO, Mohamad Alejandro Mannah told TREND: ?We are sorry to see Adriana leave as she has played a pivotal role in the growth of our company since our opening at Asuncion International, but we realise that she wants to develop a new restaurant project for her family and we wish her every success in the new venture.

‘Given the growth of our operation over the last 24 months, we have decided to split her role into two separate jobs and we are sure that Norma and Diego with their professional backgrounds will play a major role in the further development of our shops at the airport and in general to the growth of the group as a whole.?

Mannah Duty Free recently announced a sales increase for 2008 of 30% compared to the previous year at the company?s airport stores in Asuncion and Ciudad del Este.
